There's certainly pros and cons re watching that stuff on TV. One seems to  
be having plasters removed by absent-minded nurses. The "cure" for the  
next event also had pros and cons, while the third way of avoidance must  
have pleased your wife for having the garden done, same as what you did  
during the randy Andy do. Anyways, better be careful, given your age and  
that of Queen Mum, although they say alcohol preserves ;)

Anyways, the local paper today wrote:

The priest doing the wedding ceremony for the dumb future king of Belgium  
(actually, according to European prejudice, this will make him a great  
symbol for his fellow country persons) has investigations up against him  
for child molesting. The paper added that some parents of affected  
children watched the show on TV and couldn't believe that man doing the  
wedding.

Probably his superiors thought that he might be trusted with weddings. As  
compared to baptisms, that is. Cynicism off.
